Recruit Lists v2.0

As I eventually expected, the previous thread was becoming too large for our own good (causing site performance issues). So, welcome to version 2 of the Recruit Lists ongoing thread for all of the latest in men's basketball recruiting...

Re: Recruit Lists v2.0

While portion of the coaching staff was in New Hampshire for the National Prep Showcase this weekend it also appears that we were in Michigan as well.

Also, Jared Terrell had a brief conversation with Terrance Payne (NERR reporter) and continued to indicate that he and Abdul-Malik Abu could join-up in college to play together. However, it would need to be the right spot for both of them. Overall I feel the likelihood of both attending the same school are slim for most schools, blue-bloods such as North Carolina and Duke which have both shown some interest would be the only likely scenarios.

Custer is ours to lose I think. Would love to have him. Fred is getting after the guards. Just need to lock down some big men. Watching Percy tonight, not feeling good about the coming seasons. Hopefully Armadi develops and can split some time with Percy.

Re: Recruit Lists v2.0

Wow! Giving up on Gibson after a couple of easy misses and a poor job of rebounding in one game. No doubt we have to recruit some big men, but I think Gibson is a big part of our future!

First of all, it's the accumulation of all his games. Great scorer but my problems lay with overall defense, court awareness, rarely passes the ball back out, just forces a shot even when one isn't there and lack of attack when going for rebounds. He may improve in all those areas as time progresses but it makes me nervous

Re: Recruit Lists v2.0

Going into tonight's game he was averaging 11 points, 7.5 reb, and 2 blocks per game. I'll take that from the 2nd/3rd/ maybe even 4th guy off the bench. It's easy to forget that he's just a sophomore.

Thats the ticket. Its very frustrating to watch him play.... but you just have to keep telling yourself hes soft on D and rebounding because he is a soph. He will get there. Most diamonds in the rough arent amazing right away.

Re: Recruit Lists v2.0

I am not giving up on Percy at all. He will have a great Cyclone career! We do need a proven big man in a dire way!!! I understand the "role" player mentality when it comes to recruiting. But when one of your star big men could go down with an injury and they are lost for the season, they would wish they had invested in a good big..
